This past November members of the Trepassey Lions Club gathered with residents of the communities of St. Shott’s, Biscay Bay, Portugal Cove South and Trepassey to celebrate 50 years of service to the region. Also in attendance were fellow Lions from our Zone 9. “We welcomed many family members of our founding president, the late Mr. John Devereaux including his sons Mr. Jerome Devereaux and Mr. Neil Devereaux, who are also founding members,” said club spokesperson and current King Lion Aloysius Corcoran. “A fitting tribute was given to her dad by his daughter Mrs. Sylvia Corrigan. The Trepassey Lions Club appreciates all who have supported the club for the past 50 years. We pledge to continue to live up to the motto of the Lions Club – ‘We Serve!’ On hand for the gathering, were, starting in the back row, from left: Michael Power and Clarence Cave; Third Row: Gary McNeil, Wayne McNeil, Clarence Molloy, Mark Dillon, and Linda Power; Second Row: Virginia McNeil, Joan Power, Philomena Butler, Rita Pennell, Elaine Pike, Loretta Cave, and Jose Waddleton; and in the front: founding member Jerome Devereaux, King Lion Wish Corcoran and founding member Neil Devereaux.
